Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a module for unshirring a casing for the automatic stuffing of meat products.
  • the unshirring module incorporates a mechanism which facilitates the unshirring without resistance from the casing, previously shirred, during the procedure of stuffing the meat product.
  • this module controls the working and the speed of the unshirring operation and is synchronized with a stuffing machine and, in the event, with a tying appliance and/or a clipping device.
  • shirred casings in the stuffing of meat products constitutes a technological advance which allows a high level of automation in the filling processes.
  • the shirred casings are ready for use without any type of prior manipulation and they can be loaded quickly and simply in the feed units. Due to the great amount of compressed casing that each shirred stick contains, the operation reaches a high degree of autonomy and dead time is minimized.
  • the pressure to which the casings are subjected by being shirred, in combination with certain additives used to provide cohesion in the sticks, confer on the casing an appreciable resistance to unshirring in order to be filled.
  • This resistance is specially important in the case of elastic casings, such as nets, whose resistance to flowing toward the mouth of the filling tube is increased by the friction with the surface of the tube on which they are supported, and which increases as the process of consuming the casing stick advances, since the length of the bare tube on which the casing is rubbing is increasing.
  • control of the filling pressure is carried out by means of systems which brake the casing at the end of the filling tube and the regulation of which is conditioned by the feeding pressure of the product.
  • this control is revealed to be very sensitive to any variation in the resistance to the unshirring of the casing, hence by eliminating this resistance, the variation thereof is eliminated automatically.
  • the best way of doing so is to continuously provide the regulation system (brake) with the casing completely unshirred.
  • the present invention relates to a module for unshirring casing for automatic stuffing of meat products which satisfactorily resolves the problem outlined above.
  • the unshirring module consists fundamentally of a pair of unshirring wheels which impinge on the casing of the product to be stuffed, which is shirred previously and mounted on a supporting tube, the purpose being to pull the casing and draw it to the end of the supporting tube, being complemented with a ring coupled on the supporting tube which assists in untangling for possible shortcomings in the prior operation of shirring the casing.
  • the module can incorporate a robot which allows the speed of the unshirring wheels to be controlled and to actuate some pneumatic cylinders for positioning the wheels on the supporting tube, which will facilitate the contact of the wheels with the tube or will retract them to be able to remove or to mount the supporting tube.
  • this robot allows a synchronization to be established with a stuffing machine and, in the event, a tying appliance and/or a clipping device which will work automatically in correspondence with this module.
  • the module also allows housing of the electric system and the electronic control system of the robot, and also it can constitute the physical support on which the casing applicator rests.
  • the unshirring module can be mounted in an installation where its operation is synchronized with the operation of a stuffing machine and/or a tying appliance and/or a clipping device.
  • the unshirring module for automatic stuffing of meat products which constitutes the object of this invention, is of application in the casing (1) of the product to be stuffed previously shirred and placed on a supporting tube (2) mounted in an applicator (13) of the casing, in which also a stuffing tube (3) is mounted through which the meat mass is displaced coming from a stuffing machine (4), the ends of the casing finally being clipped by means of a clipping device (5).
  • the unshirring module consists fundamentally of a pair of unshirring wheels (8) facing each other which contact on the casing previously shirred and placed on the supporting tube (2) and rotate to pull the casing (1) to take it to the end of the supporting tube (2), being complemented with a ring (9) coupled on the supporting tube (2), on the external surface of which the casing (1) slides and is extended favouring the untangling which could have been produced by possible shortcomings in the previous shirring operation.
  • the unshirring wheels (8) are driven by corresponding servo-motors mounted in respective supports on which impinge the rods of some pneumatic cylinders (11) for positioning the wheels (8) on the casing (1) placed on the supporting tube (2).
  • the module incorporates a robot (12) which automatically synchronizes the operation of the module with the operation of the stuffing machine (4) and the clipping device (5), controls the speed and working of the servo-motors associated with the unshirring wheels (8) and actuates the pneumatic cylinders (11) for positioning the wheels on the casing placed on the supporting tube (2).
  • the module incorporates a trolley (14) which supports the assembly formed by the unshirring wheels (8) with their servo-motors and pneumatic cylinders (11), houses the electric system and the electronic system for control of the robot (12) and is constituted in a physical support on which the casing applicator (13) stands.
